MANUAL PLAYING (TO START PLAYING PART-WAY ON THE

Perform the preparatory steps, except that for the Record Size
Selector setting, as shown in step @ under “Automatic playing”.
Then continue with the following steps:
@ Set the Record Size Selector to the MANUAL position.
@ Bring the Tonearm to the position you desire over the record.
© Touch the START/STOP Switch. The turntable will start rotat-
ing, the Tonearm will lower itself, and play will begin. When
the Tonearm reaches the end of the record, it will automatically
rise and return to the Arm Rest, and the turntable will stop.
NOTES
@lf you touch the REPEAT Switch in manual playing, the Repeat
Lamp will illuminate but the repeat function will not operate.
After paying, the Tonearm will return automatically to the Arm
Rest, but the turntable will continue rotating. In this case, touch
the START/STOP Switch to stop the turntable.
@lf you bring the Tonearm too near the label of the record while
the turntable is rotating, the Tonearm may return to the Arm
Rest as a result of having activated the automatic return mecha-
nism.
CUEING LEVER
Usually, keep the fever lowered. To lift up the stylus or to
change the listening point during playing, lift the Cueing Lever
up. The Tonearm will rise. To start playing again, lower the
Cueing Lever toward you.

STROBOSCOPE AND NEON LAMP
The Crystal Lock System assures precise turntable speed. This
is verified by viewing the neon lamp stroboscope pattern, which
will appear stationary at the correct speed. The upper line is
for 45 rpm and the lower for 33 1/3 rpm.
e Always view the stroboscope with the light of the neon lamp
provided, not with the light of a fluorescent lamp. This is be-
cause the neon lamp is energized by a 120-Hz pulse from the
built-in crystal oscillator and assures precise speed indication
regardless of any line-frequency deviation.

TIPS ON RECORD HANDLING
Before playing
e@ Clean the stylus, using a soft brush (stylus brush, artist’s paint
brush, etc). Brush the stylus from back to front. Never attempt
to clean the stylus with your finger tip.
e@For routine cleaning of records, the use of a barely damp soft
cloth (gauze, etc.) or a fluid type cleaner will be effective. If a
spray type record cleaner is used, make sure that the cleaner
has dried completely before playing the records. Playing the
record before the fluid has dried may damage the record. It is a
good idea to clean the record again before putting it away.
@ Handle a record by its edges and don’t touch the music grooves.
Finger prints on the record surface may induce an accumulation
of dust, resulting in impaired tone.
